He has been on the local football stage for at least five years since his memorable performances in the District 11 tournament as a Hazleton senior when he almost single-handedly beat Easton and Liberty, and has tormented our two local FCS college programs, Lafayette and Lehigh, for the past four years in the Patriot League.

Here's what Pauline said about Eachus and some other FCS players from the northeast corridor, including guys from Harvard and New Hampshire, teams Lehigh has faced in recent seasons.

Nate Eachus, RB, Colgate: Eachus was a record-setting running back at Colgate despite being limited to six games last season. He's a complete ball carrier who does the little things well, and Eachus projects as a complimentary fourth back on an NFL roster. He's getting long looks by the Seattle Seahawks and San Diego Chargers.

Kevin Murphy, T, Harvard: Considered camp fodder entering the season, Murphy is now ranked as a legitimate practice squad prospect. He's tall, athletic and possesses the skills necessary to protect the quarterback's blindside in the NFL. The Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions rank among the teams most interested in Murphy.

Brian McNally, DE, New Hampshire: McNally has consistently harassed opposing signal callers, registering a combined 21 sacks and 34.5 tackles for loss since his junior campaign. He's a relentless defender who plays with a non-stop motor, which NFL coaches will love. Look for McNally to potentially end up with the Buffalo Bills or Philadelphia Eagles as a pass rush specialist.

Trevor Coston, S, Maine: Coston does not receive the same notoriety as his combine-invited teammate Jerron McMillian, but many in the scouting community feel he's the better NFL prospect. Coston is a terrific cover safety who easily goes sideline to sideline in centerfield. He also doubles as a return specialist, which only adds to his value. Coston is drawing a lot of interest from the San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots.
